| e. Immediate Plan of the Hierarchy What,
therefore, is the Hierarchy seeking to do today? Let me briefly state the immediate plan.
- To make the lines of cleavage, already existing, so apparent that the issue is clear.
This you can see happening every day if you read the world news intelligently and separate
the spectacular and untrue details from the broad and true issues. These lines of cleavage
fall into three general lines.
- Between the three major ideologies: the Fascists, the Communistic and the Democratic.
- Between the reactionary and fundamentalist groups and the liberal minded people who
react to the newer spiritual impression and the emerging ways of approach to God.
- Between the old cultures and civilizations and the new incoming ways of living and
thinking; between the Piscean way of life and the Aquarian attitude of thought and life;
between the laws of the kingdom of God, the fifth kingdom and those of humanity, the
fourth; between the self-conscious individualistic way of life and the way of brotherhood,
of love and of group consciousness.
- To heal those divisions and bridge these cleavages through the agency of the world
group, which we call the New Group of World Servers, and the men of good will. These
Servers and men of good will belong to all the nations, groups, ideologies and religions
on both sides of the different cleavages, and yet hold firmly to the principles of good
will and understanding. They are, therefore, non-partisan and inactive in the present
[745] process of differentiation and separative trends. They hold out the hands of love
and understanding to each other across the gulf of differences. They meet in thought upon
the subjective level of the true realities - which are synthetic and eternal - and ignore
all outer barriers, and separative differences in mental ideas and material ways of
living.
- To approach nearer to humanity and become a known and forceful fact in the consciousness
of Their disciples, of the world aspirants and the New Group of World Servers. Then these
can work with greater confidence, knowing for themselves, past all controversy, that the
kingdom of God is emerging upon earth, that the inner world of light, love and meaning is
fusing in a realizable sense with the objective world, and that the world of spiritual
realities is now recognized on such a large scale that the precipitation of that which is
spiritual is discovered to be present in everything that can be known. This realization
and this approach to life through God is the herald of the new world religion. I
have already given you much concerning it in these instructions and if you will reread it
you will be preparing yourself for right participation in the coming Wesak Festival.
- To bring about the "Day of Crisis" to which I have referred before. Through
this crisis, in which the aspiration of humanity for peace, understanding, good will and
truth can be raised to its highest possible expression, there will be brought about, at a
given moment of fusion, the downpouring desire of the spiritual forces of the Hierarchy,
of the Christ and of all associated with Him (call Them by what name you please) and thus
there will be precipitated upon earth that spiritual [746] stimulation and that healing
force which will end the present period of strife and misery.
